''The Spriggan trades the armored arms of its predecessor, the Devastator, for a heavy shield, a massive lance, and more versatile and longer-range grenade launchers that can fire either explosive projectiles or flares that illuminate hidden enemies.''

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}= 
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell=== 
The Spriggan is the third, most expensive, and most distinct, element of the "clamjack" chassis. It fulfills a completely different role than the [[Demolisher]] or the [[Devastator]]. It sports a weaker grenade launcher with nice utility against stealthy targets, and a shield to put its ARM above the average Khador level. Its war lance is also the second most powerful warjack weapon in the faction (excluding Colossals).

===Combos & Synergies===
If you are expecting stealthy targets in any form, you will definitely want this jack. As it is no slouch in melee either, extra mobility and accuracy are most welcome.
* Casters with Superiority - [[Irusk1]] or [[Strakhov]]. 
* [[Orsus_Zoktavir,_The_Butcher_of_Khardov|Butcher 1]] - Under Fury and his feat, this baby delivers a MAT 8 P+S 21 charge with 4D6 on the damage roll.
* "Jack Casters" - [[Karchev]] and [[Kommander_Harkevich,_the_Iron_Wolf|Harkevich]], both offer quite a lot for melee capable, tough jacks, especially SPD buff.
* [[Kommander_Sorscha|Sorscha1]] - her feat will make sure that your charge attack connects
* [[Forward_Kommander_Sorscha|Sorscha2]] - how about some Pathfinder from Boundless Charge? And what about one-rounding a heavy under her feat with the War Lance?
* Ranged infantry that enjoys stealth removal and the ability to ignore clouds, as in anything [[Winterguard]].

===Drawbacks & Downsides=== 
* Lower MAT than the Juggernaut chassis (partially offset by Powerful Charge)
* Fairly expensive non-character warjack, it's price tag is the same or even higher than some character choices.
* Low RAT, which makes applying Flare difficult, but thanks to Dual Attack you also charge your target so you are close enough that the AOE cannot miss.

===Tricks & Tips=== 
* Enemies just have to be within, not completely within the flare's AOE; feel free to spread it to multiple models, if possible.

===Trivia=== 
* The plastic Spriggan is sold in one box together with options for the Demolisher and the Devastator.
* Originally released in [[Warmachine: Superiority]] (2006)
